Are you running at full speed (1.2)? I am having trouble running VBA, I can select the games from my list, but once I do I get a Luna restart,or the VBA skin loads, but the game does not. Are you using VBA 1.1.2? Also, I dont see any A+B buttons anywhere on my screen when it loads, if it loads. Can any speak to these issues?

I haven't tested this, but adding "autoFrameSkip=1" to your options should fix that for you.

This will probably be in the next release as a controllable feature.

Im a bit confused. I change the options.cfg file in internals, save it and run VBA. Then when I close VBA and go to the file, it reverts back to original. whats the deal. Do you think its a internals thing, or VBA thing?

I did some key word searches but came up empty so I thought I'd ask and hopefully this has not be asked and answered before. I have not played most games on GB, GBC, and GBA but there probably are quite a few I never knew about that are good titles to check out. But due to the vast number of titles for the three platforms and knowing video game history for every good game there are probably 10 crap ones. I'm thinking back to games such as the michael jackson one on the NES, 7up spot, movies turned into game gone horribly wrong etc. My main game genre of interest are action adventure (ducktales, mario, megaman, battletoads, double dragon etc) and RPGs (zelda, final fantasy, dragon warrior etc). Any good listings for me to find out what titles I'll like or perhaps recommendations of ones I should look into?

As requested: for my works on webOS patches and apps. Twitter: @larryboytwPatches: Small icons browser start page, 5x5 launcher. I have an AAS CIS Programming degree. I enjoy working on open source projects and alpha and beta testing.http://install.preware.org/ for easy to get up and running for patches and apps.

Just wanna say I'm so so soooooooo thankful to you guys for making this emu, only thing I would suggest is to stretch the screen in portrait mode! That would make this awesome emu perfect!
Is this possible?

Also is there a way to change the preferences? Certain games (like Legacy of Goku) get error messages saying that they won't run on this hardware. I know it's possible to get around this with the VBA on my mac but I can't change the preferences on my palm!

To help those of you on 1.4.5, I've decided to release a public beta of sorts.

ONLY INSTALL THIS IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TEST.
#include <sbromwich/disclaimer.h>
You guys get the idea--use this at your own risk. I would recommend backing up your saves first as a safety measure. If you aren't sure how to install or or back up your saves, this probably isn't for you.

There are quite a few improvements here:
--support for 1.4.5
--number of internal improvements I won't bore you with (see git shortlog for details). Short version: It's faster .
--back gesture while playing returns you to rom selector (long requested feature)
--save games are no longer stored in /media/internal/vba, due to 1.4.5 bug, and are instead stored with the app on your device. This means if you remove the app you lose your saves! Good news is the app will migrate your existing saves to the new location for you.
--portrait rom selector
--misc bug fixes

So those who do end up testing it, please post feedback here/pm me on IRC so I can work on fixing any regressions/bugs/etc before pushing this to preware.

Of particular importance:
--Does this make some games slower? faster? (both are important). Please try to be as thorough in your testing as possible.
--Does this break any existing feature/compatibility?
--Are there any crashes, or unexpected behavior?
--Any other suggestions/comments, I'll do what I can.

Depending on how testing goes, I hope to have this in preware by the end of the week.

- works well under webOS 1.4.5 (o2 Germany)
- games seems to be faster
- back gesture goes well back to rom selection
- auto save and load works fine (if i close the app and if i use back gesture)
- i like the portrait rom selector

I will do some more tests and give some feedback if there are any issues.

I've tried this twice now...it seems to have successfully downloaded, but when I hit the app it tells me game pak error...turn the power off
I am running a Palm Pre
1.4.5 Bell Mobility
UK 1.4.5-92 set @ 250/1GHz
think I have all the required info let me know if you need more

I have only tried 1 ROM as that is all I have installed. I will doublecheck the stored location and get back to you as to its location.
